Not entirely their own free volition.

own free volition.

And I wholeheartedly apologise for my small part in that, having worked in advertising [(until Bill Hicks saved me)].

I was "just doing my job", to the best of my abilities, for my client. Maximally manipulating minds... And that was about 25 years ago, before all the datamining cold-reading hypno tech these days. Me and my guy, our meagre team of two, with our non-existent budget, we changed the culture... Now imagine what those with the tech today, and the budget of billions and trillions could do to people... Especially those who are completely oblivious and not actively trying to avoid the manipulations.

They'll deprive you of all wealth, and all free volition, if given a chance.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
